This was the fewest viewers of the year, an historical low going back to the mid-1990s, and in the same territory as Christmas Eve Raw 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, the third hour of Raw leaked viewers as the show went on, nearly drawing fewer than 3.0 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Hourly Break Down: 3.518 million first hour viewers (most in one month), 3.254 million second hour viewers, and 3.082 million third hour viewers.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison, Monday Night Football on ESPN drew a pretty standard audience of 12.1 million viewers for a competitive game that came down to the last play of the game.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1894319086\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; One year ago this week, Raw drew a 2.74 rating, four-tenths of a rating (15 percent) higher than this week&#8217;s episode.<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago this week, Raw drew a 2.88 rating.
